Roger On + Telecoil listener?

I do have the receivers, thanks for asking! I’m just asking about whether the audio jack method would work

I don’t think I’ve ever come across anyone who’s tried this before.

I assume you’re wanting to do it this way, due to your hearing aids not having the telecoil feature?

do your Signia hearing aids offer a remote mic with a port for a Roger x? I do it that way for my resound aids, use the multi mic with a Roger x. and connect to the Roger on.

How much is the Telecoil receiver? If it isn’t lots of money, maybe try it.

I find the sound quality of the Telecoil really poor but our hearing loss is different.

I’ve never tried this with a telecoil receiver, but in my experience, anything that can output audio via a headphone jack will stream from the Roger On if properly connected. However, I’m not sure that approach makes sense if you plan to use it while walking around museums or on public transit. To use the headphone jack, the Roger device has to be inserted into the base unit, and it’s pretty unwieldy to carry it around like that. Plus, it needs to be connected to a power source. You could probably rig something up with a portable charger brick, but then you’ve got several clunky devices precariously daisy-chained together, and they’ll all be knocking against each other in your bag. I’d be worried about damaging the USB port on the Roger On, because that arrangement is just begging for it to get bent somehow. Personally, I’d switch to a battery aid before I’d mess around with that.

Maybe one of the professionals can chime in here: Can a 15-year-old with OP’s audiogram use Phonak’s Audeo Lumity RT? That one is rechargeable and has a telecoil.

Thanks a lot for your reply, and that is a valid concern. I will be trialling the Audeo Lumity RT in a couple of months to compare to my new Sky Ms, but in the end, it’s probably unlikely I’ll get the Lumity aids as those are not fully subsidised for me, unfortunately.

You can use this cable and then you don’t need the docking station or need for it to be connected to power.

That’s great news then! I’ll probably buy a telecoil listener. Thank you!

The Phonak Lumity Sky can directly connect to almost any bluetooth source.
